The 997 is rumored to be getting DFI and their own version of DCT this summer. The bloated Cayenne made a nice gain in power and mileage with their V8, which will also be implemented in the upcoming Panamera sedan. Audi uses a first generation DFI for the RS4 and R8 with it's high revving 4.2 litre, but frankly it doesn't offer anything in regards to mileage gains over the M3. The Lexus IS F has DFI with both power and mileage gains. I believe it's mileage is 16/23 which is class leading and a good number considering it's power output and weight. BMW's own 335 has DFI with both power and mileage benefits but the engine rev limit is 7k.
